"Many of our staff have experienced concussions." PORTLAND, Ore. ( KOIN ) — Salem-Keizer Public Schools and Oregon's education department have been notified they will be facing a lawsuit from teachers and staff over injuries they've suffered caused by students. The focus of the suit is primarily on students with social and emotional issues. It comes after a recent survey done by Salem-Keizer school employee unions that identified almost 1,000 staff injury reports — almost all caused by students.
